Agreed that the test is a bit... off.

Doesn't reflect how I feel about the role of the state in private life quite correctly. Second number should be much much closer to zero imo.

But what're you gonna do. It's mostly close-ish I guess.

there is an faq - it responds to criticism of the statements with :

"Most of them are slanted ! Some right-wingers accuse us of a leftward slant. Some left-wingers accuse us of a rightward slant. But it's important to realise that this isn't a survey, and these aren't questions. They're propositions - an altogether different proposition. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are more moderate. That's how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass." -http://politicalcompass.org/faq#faq1

Didn't realize I leaned that far left, always viewed myself as a moderate. Oh well that isn't too strong towards the left

This is ..the third time we have had this very same thread. Once more into the breach.

and Sean, i may have seen this thread before, but this is the first time i've gotten to create a graph with all our names on it...

@fasces, would you like one removed? or to submit whatever the site says about you today? you've loads of space over that side of the graph so i'm not too worried about having both results up... (it also shows how much people can change, or how good the site is at telling you where you lie)

well putin, for a self-described communist you've come very neatly on the line between anarchists and authoritarians... more of a socialist according to this chart...

Communists weren't/aren't particularly socially authoritarian (especially on race, nationality, and women's issues). The author evidently forgot the fact that Communists legalized divorce, ended arranged marriages, and legalized abortion. In the early Soviet period same-sex relations were even legal. In East Germany there was a vibrant LGBTQ community and policies were rather lax.

you can leave it.

I am a little emberased to be the only right winger here...

"Communists weren't/aren't particularly socially authoritarian"

Yet it is under a Communist government that China has enacted it's one-child policy, complete with involuntary forced abortions for those who aren't members of state-sanctioned minority groups - certainly the most reprehensible government policy in force in the world today I can think of. Apparently "women's issues" refers to the right to kill an unborn baby, and not to the right *not* to.

Tolstoy, you are wasting your time. Putin is a True Believer. He has actually managed to make black into white by sheer force of will. Its rather impressive, really.

@tolstoy: if you assumed for a moment that you were in power in a country and didn't have to worry about re-election every 4 years, and further that you had a population issue, how would you choose to deal with it? authoritarian yes, but i find it hard to condemn as morally wrong.

@putin: i guess that really tells us what kind of communist you are. Clearly if you were allowed have you way communism would be something different to what most historians remember...
